Please do have a look at the photos and suggest a buying price in Chennai, TamilNadu.
Any and all inputs are welcome.

vellorenavin,

Try to buy one without a 'safety'.It will be cheaper and might save your life ( the missing safety,I mean)

Perusal of photographs prima facie gives the impression that the weapon is in good condition.One thing can be further checked. Close the weapon then manually cock the hammer. Then try to rotate the chamber with your fingers. The chamber is supposed to remain immovable when hammer is cocked.If there is play then it means that it will lead to bullet shaving when fired and some burnt powder sparks will exit from front of cylinder when fired.

Good tip. Looks like it is in good condition, begin by offering a lakh. :-)

The stamping on this revolver is NOT original, the usual location (for stamping),words and font are different. I'd avoid buying it.

@ the doc stamping not original? Could you throw more light on the matter? I'm being asked 4 L for it plus 20 k as brokerage. Is the weapon worth that much?

Dear Dr.JK this is an A frame with three inch barrel although it was compact and well fitting in my hands ( I'm a 6"2) I most certainly wouldn't call it a pocket model. Are you from tamilnadu and could you guide me on the right price for this thing in chennai? And I wasn't able to follow the "stamping was wrong" comments that people have made. More light on that matter perhaps?
